Heparinase I treatment improves miRNA detection in perfusates of liver grafts and the predictive value for ischemic-type biliary lesions (ITBL) after transplantation. (A) Relative miRNA levels in 57 perfusates before (−) and after (+) heparinase I treatment for HDmiR-148a and CDmiR-296 and miR-148a/miR-296 ratio. The detections and ratios increased significantly after heparinase I treatment. Unreliable detection area is indicated in grey. (B) Heparinase I treatment improved the prognostic value of HDmiRs/CDmiRs ratios for ITBL. All boxplots indicate mean±95% confidence interval. (C) Grafts with high perfusate HDmiR-148a/CDmiR-296 ratio (top 50%) have a significantly higher incidence of ITBL after transplantation (Log-rank test), both in the entire cohort and the subset of DBD grafts. (D) In univariate and multivariate analysis, the predictive value of HDmiR/CDmiR ratios as independent risk factor for ITBL were further improved after heparinase I treatment. Shown are the old (as previous published) and new (after heparinase I treatment) HRs, the new p value and 95% CI. *In the multivariate model for ITBL, separate HDmiR/CDmiR ratios were adjusted for graft type (DBD vs. DCD) and the type of solution used for graft preservation (UW vs. HTK), identical to previous analysis. CDmiRs, cholangiocyte-derived miRNAs; CI, confidence interval; DBD, donated after brain death; DCD, donation after cardiac death; HDmiRs, hepatocyte-derived miRNAs; HR, hazard ratio; ITBL, ischemic-type biliary lesions, miRNAs, microRNAs; N.S., not significant.
